The Grivel Air Tech Evolution ice axe answers professional demands for a light, full-strength axe with technical features. The hot-forged chromoly steel head has T-rated strength and a thin (4mm) pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The clearance curve adapts to odd terrain features and protects your knuckles from the ice when your hand is choked up on the shaft. The T-rated extruded aluminum shaft is finished with a hot-forged steel spike that slices into hard snow. The Evo has a classical positive blade and a shovel, and comes with a long leash.Vendor

Buy the Grivel Air Tech if you need to be admired in the cable car. It is rather a toy not a tool. I have used it only once on a easy route to Grossglockner in Austria. Seldom touching the rock under snow. Even I used it really soft, the bottom sharp steel point got such a wear as it looks like a mushroom. Absolutely unacceptable. My old Stubai usually sparked flames on winter rock ascents and does't show any wear! But the main problem is Grivel company itself. I spotted them the problem just a courtesy, without asking any guarantee for the toy. But they ignored the issue even after sending them photos. Relay on them anymore?
